That'd be nice. I think it should read: "a zFS directory." I think we can 
ignore HFS at this point in history, right?

If you're wondering how to get the IBM Z Open Automation Utilities, 
they're included with any of these three product offerings:

IBM Dependency Based Build for z/OS
IBM Z Open Development
IBM Developer for z/OS Enterprise Edition

So if you have (or get) any of those product packages, you have the 
Automation Utilities, too.

In related news, the next wave of Red Hat Ansible-related functionality is 
now available:

https://galaxy.ansible.com/ibm/ibm_zos_core

The Red Hat Ansible Certified Content for IBM Z works with z/OS and the 
IBM Z Open Automation Utilities to make z/OS a managed node within the Red 
Hat Ansible Automation Platform. I interpret this code availability as at 
least partial fulfillment of IBM's Statement of Direction as published in 
IBM Announcement 219-571 late last year.

You can run Ansible control and/or managed nodes on Linux, including on 
IBM Z and LinuxONE. I see there's also a Docker/OCI container for Ansible 
available here:

https://hub.docker.com/r/ibmcom/ansible-s390x

Thus it looks like you can run an Ansible control node in the z/OS 
Container Extensions (zCX), too. If you'd like a support agreement for 
anything Ansible I've just described, please give your friendly Red Hat 
representative an opportunity to help.
